³⁹ And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants.

¹⁹ And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their stony, stubborn heart and give them a tender, responsive heart,^{[a] 20} so they will obey my decrees and regulations. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God.

The Believers Share Their Possessions

³² All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.

²¹ I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

²⁵ They will live in the land I gave my servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. And my servant David will be their prince forever.

²⁶ And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.^[a]

²⁰ By his death,^[a] Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.

⁶ Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

⁴⁰ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me.
